Spencer occurred Sunday evening about 8 o’clock at her home, 932 East Seventh Street, Flint. Several days of critical illness preceded her death, and her health had been failing for several months. Miss Mabel Gibsone left for Flint early Sunday in response to a message announcing the critical illness of her sister. Funeral services, it was expected Monday, would be held at the Flint home Tuesday afternoon, and burial would be at Flint. Surviving are the husband, Harry E. Spencer; one daughter, Mrs. C. H. McKinley of Ann Arbor, one son, Harold Spencer of Flint, and two sisters, Miss Mabel Gibsone of Ionia, and Miss Blanche Gilsone of Los Angeles. Mrs. Spencer, who was born in England, was for the greater part of her life a resident of Ionia, where she counted many among the circle of her friends. Nearly six years ago they moved to Flint, where their residence has been since. Her health had not been strong before she left Ionia and, although it improved considerably after leaving here, Mrs. Spencer did not regain her strength entirely. During her life in Ionia Mrs. Spencer was active in social affairs. She was a loyal and energetic worker in the St. John’s Episcopal church in addition to her other church activities and church society endeavors she was a member of the choir for many years. She was also identified with local lodge affairs and was at the time of her death a member of the Lady Maccabees of Ionia. She was, above all, a home loving mother and wife, and was loved by her friends for her hospitality and her sterling worth and loyalty.
